That looks great. I'm looking at picking up 1 and converting it into a Star Wars Emergency Firespeeder seen in Episode III as Anakin lands the CIS ship on Coruscant. What are you planning to do with yours...attack., transport etc? It would look really good accompanying a Wookiee flyer though!!

For this one, I'm going to just try and do a nice re-paint to match the movie as close as possible. If this one goes well, I'll get another and convert it into something more. I want to capitalize on the movie release so I'm going as fast as I can :P

The next one I'll remove the seat, add some LED's and try to add some more detail.

I guess you havn't browsed through my vehicles thread then huh?  ;)

can't wait to see what you do with a lighted version of the gunship sten, how much room is on the inside of the main fusolage shell?  Would it fit two AA batteries or would it have to be something smaller?

I got to far into the repaint to put lights into this one. However, there looks to be a lot of space inside the main forward cockpit area.  You could fit Double A's or even Triple A's in there. The hardest part is that the fuselage is glued VERY well.. and I didn't want to damage it after painting it to pry it apart.

However, if this one sells well, then I'll do the next one with LEDs for sure.

Ok, nearing completion! I want to apply some more subtle dry brushing in some spots. However, I think it looks very movie accurate.

I added some decals to the cockpit that I think add some to it rather than just a blank interior. Now comes the fun part and seeing if any of my figures can fit in it :P

Thoughts?

that looks great sten.  Would you mind getting a shot of it standing next to some different figures for some reference in size?

did you find a pilot for it yet?

just a random thought, I watched DUNE (the ORIGINAL movie, from way back)... and it got me thinking about the "ornithopters" that they mention in the books.  I always pictured them as something like this.  They never realy describe them well in the book but they said it was like a giant mechanical dragonfly....

Yes I pictured the Dune vehicles with thumping wings.. and large bulbous eye canopy. I'll take a pic of it outside with some sun here soon and add some figs for comparison.

Thanks for all the kind words and feedback!
